Over the years news search engine of Google and Bing has become increasingly useless, where even quoting specific keywords of news I know exists yields no result and I am choked with unrelated trendy local news. So, I am looking for a better news search engine (bonus if it also searches blogs and is able to differentiate as well).

Clarification for those who haven't clicked the link:

Clarification of entities

Open Collective. Inc (OC) is a for-profit entity. We are responsible for building the Open Collective Platform that many fiscal hosts use for their operations.

The founders of Open Collective also founded and supported the early development of several nonprofit organizations:

Open Collective Foundation (OCF) a US-based 501(c)(3) fiscal host that hosts charitable projects, and which has chosen to dissolve.

Open Source Collective (OSC) a US-based 501(c)(6) fiscal host that only hosts open source software-related projects and which continues to operate in good health.

Open Collective Europe (OCE) a European based organization with the ability to have 501(c)(3) equivalency in the US, hosting open source, solidarity, artistic, and cultural projects principally rooted in or connected to Europe and which continues to operate in good health.

These entities all have similar names and share similar origins, having been started by the founders of Open Collective and incubated in the Open Collective ecosystem, but are independent nonprofits with their own budget, accounts, staff, board of directors, and mission. They each have a separate commercial relationship with Open Collective.

Patent infringement threat(Skyhook Holdings, Inc), lack of further investment seems to have been the reason of killing the service around 2021. It seems google location service seems to be the only player in town(other than OpenCellID, which I do not have experience with).

Open Library (not activitypub compatible) is an ISBN database type service. But, it also has reading list/want to read/book review and rating features. So, my question is from a features standpoint and index standpoint (number of books indexed), which is better?

আগের পরিচালক বা মডারেটর লেমি থেকে নিষিদ্ধ হয়েছিল এবং খুব সম্ভবত বাংলাদেশিও ছিলো না। এখন এই চ্যানেলে আমি চেষ্টা করবো মোটামোটি সকল বাংলাদেশি ও বাংলাভাষীরা যাতে এখানে অংশগ্রহণ করতে পারে ও আলোচনায় অংশ নিতে পারে সেরকম পরিবেশ তৈরি করার। এই উদ্দেশ্যে যেকোনো ধরণের মন্তব্য, পরামর্শ ও গঠনমূলক সমালোচনা গ্রহণ করতে আমি আগ্রহী।

পরিশেষে বলতে চাই শহিদ দিবস/আন্তর্জাতিক মাতৃভাষা দিবস উপলক্ষে সকলকে শুভেচ্ছা! বাংলা ভাষার প্রতি আমাদের ভালোবাসা শেষ পর্যন্ত বজায় থাকুক।

The last mod of !bangladesh!bangladesh@lemmy.ml got banned from here and probably wasn't from Bangladesh. I was recently able to get the mod rights to !bangladesh@lemmy.ml. Everyone is invited to this community provided basic etiquette, which will focus on Bangladesh and Bangla language. Accepting any comments, advices and constructive criticism in this regard.

In the end, happy Martyr Day/International Mother Language Day! May all languages of the world be cherished and celebrated.
